STATEHOUSE (Aug. 23, 2023) – State Rep. Matt Lehman (R-Berne) is seeking interns to join him at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
He said House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"House interns help legislators and staff manage important tasks during the busy session, from assisting Hoosiers in need to managing media requests," Lehman said. "There is so much to gain by interning with the Indiana House of Representatives, like earning extra income, networking, strengthening resumes and learning new skills. I encourage local students to apply soon and not miss out."
Lehman said internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors. The paid, spring-semester intern positions are full time, Monday through Friday, and include free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through the student's college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
Lehman said students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, policy, and communications and media relations.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
